Luge Capital, Panache Ventures and Intact Ventures also invested in Flinks, which is looking to open a U.S. office with the funds and double its 65-person staff in the next few months. (Betakit)

Talking point: Flinks is also planning to use the funds for a new wealth management product. That’s a crowded, but lucrative, area of focus for a number of Canadian fintechs. In January, The Logic reported that Toronto fintech d1g1t was expanding to the U.S. after passing $50 billion in assets under management in part by partnering with large financial institutions. Flinks is taking a similar approach, and has relationships with several members of the Big Five banks in addition to projects it’s working on with National Bank. Flinks’s raise is the latest example of how fintechs continue to attract investors despite the pandemic. In London, for example, 39 per cent of all tech investment in 2020 so far went to fintechs.
